Wow! This cookbook is stunning!! The whole thing has a very nostalgic vibe to it. From the pictures to the font style, and color palette. Overall, it just reminds me of one of the various books I used to grab off my grandmother's shelf to browse when I was a little girl in the 80's. My children love Nutella, but I've never tried it (sorry!!) and figured if there was ever a time to give it a go it would be in a delicious recipe from this book. This book did not disappoint. So many offerings, from decadent to fruity with a hint of Nutella. The majority of the recipes consist of pretty basic ingredients that I already have in my kitchen, so that's a plus! I love that not only is there a recipe index but an ingredient one as well!! Thank you to NetGalley and White Lion Publishing, Quarto Group for an egalley of this beautiful book. Let's get baking!
Five stars.
Nutella: 60 Classic Recipes pays homage to one of the most delicious foods on the planet. With Nutella as the star of the show, most of these recipes are what I would consider baking and rely on some basic pastry recipes for several of the dishes in the book. All of the recipes sound simple, appear easy to follow, and provide conversions for all measurement systems. I am not brave enough to attempt any of these recipes, but I did get some ideas of ways to use Nutella with some bakery items I can purchase. This would be a great gift for a baker or Nutella fan or addition to a cookbook collection.
I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Wow these recipes!!
This book is more intensive than I expected. There's recipes from a banana nutella pie to nutella profiteroles and beyond! There's beautiful pictures and a variety of recipes!
However, a lot of these recipes are out of my league or incredibly difficult. Nutella macaroons? Nutella cream puffs? While there's some standard nutella recipes like including it on bread, a lot of these recipes are very ambitious.
This is a creative book that provides a bit of history on nutella and suggests many different uses for it.
Pros: I am one of those Americans who feels a bit smug about discovering Nutella while studying abroad—years before it was a popular thing in the US. That being said, I’m thrilled that it’s now something that can be found at any grocery store . . . and that there are cookbooks devoted specifically to it! I think this book would make a fantastic gift for Nutella-loving friends and family.
I found the recipes in this book to be accessible, for the most part, to cooks of all different skill levels. (Macarons are hard!) The photographs were very helpful guides. I appreciated that the recipes where both in grams and in US measurements. There were tons of helpful tricks and tips throughout. The recipes I want to try immediately are the hazelnut and Nutella marble cake, the chocolate and Nutella mousse, the Nutella marble madeleines, the vanilla and Nutella waffles, the Nutella pastry boats, the Nutella truffles, the Nutella eclairs, and the Nutella mocha case.
Cons: The only con I can think of is that I do not have any of these recipes made up to eat while reading!

Nutella: 60 Classic Recipes is such a delight of a cookbook.
I really enjoyed learning about how Nutella became NUTELLA.
The recipes on this book differ from your basic to your more elaborate ones.
The step by step instructions are easy to follow and understand.
The photography here will make your mouth water!
This is a must have for cookbook collectors, and Nutella aficionados alike!
